Rick Harris introduces the Polka Dot Kids to the world with musical excitement! He has partnered with the Polka Dot Project, founded by Amy Bethea that promotes compassion and understanding of people with special needs and disabilities. The Polka Dot Project also has a program of teaching for small children who may have difficulty understanding and relating to other children that may be different from them because of a special need that they may have. Children are helped to appreciate that those who may be different from them still deserve respect and attention and that they are people just like them who want and need love just like them.
The Polka Dot Kids animation is unique because it is inclusive, featuring children with special needs. By discovering what they have in common with their peers who may be different, young learners grasp the importance of appreciating and celebrating their uniqueness.
The Polka Dot Kids animation series is a part of Lifelong Media’s soft skills learning collection for early childhood learners, and the families and organizations that support them. These collections are specifically designed to help young learners develop the 21st Century skills they will need for life while simultaneously exploring the diversity of the human experience. The Polka Dot Kids are not your average heroes! Together this group of typical and special needs kids solve mysteries and fight crime in the most unusual ways. These episodes will be exciting, fantastical and will thrill viewers with exceptional music, comedy, voice talent and stunning visual effects. Most important are the lessons learned at the end of each episode, where viewers are taught the value of soft-skills: teamwork, self-discipline, conflict resolution, compassion, communication, and more! So enjoy the theme song that Rick has composed for the project that promises to entertain, educate, and instill compassion for a more tolerant world. The Polka Dot Project will receive 50% of proceeds for special needs charity.
